how much coolant

[CFSapper]

how much coolant do i need for the 1J system?

and yes i did search

 

[OneJArpus]

IIRC most cars use about 2 to 3 gallons. Get 4 and return unused coolant.

i use 2 jugs of prestone

 

[The Reaper]

i usually put 1 gallon of prestone and fill the rest with water

it definitely aint no 3 gallons total

 

[tissimo]

the mkiv manual (block is slightly larger so will take more) says 10 quarts.. so ~ 2 gallons in a 1jz i'd assume.. 1 jug of coolant and 1 of water does the trick

 

[CFSapper]

yah that basicly that it was we pu on jug of prestone and 3/4 water

Red = Concentrate
Pink = Premixed

Red= normal coolant
Pink= long life.

Use distiller water also.
